Still waiting for my case to arrive but went ahead and set up my pc on the box basically to test out. Got it running and it all is working smoothly. However during stress tests such Intel burn test or cinebench r23 multithread, it goes up to about 100.
System currently
I5 12600kf
32gb ddr4 ram 3200mhz
MSI z690a pro WiFi ddr4( I’ll link the board before in case I’m mistaken)
Thermalright peerless assassin 120 se white rgb, basically dual fan dual tower air cooler)
Powercolor red devil 6700xt 12gb
Corsair rmx 850
Case I’m waiting on is a fractal design Focus G blue.
This is the motherboard. Flashed to the latest bios. Set to optimized defaults to be safe
Don’t think it’s the mounting. Idle temps are in the 30s and 40s. When it ramps up the fans go to 1500-1600+ rpms. Also when the load is taken off it almost immediately goes back into the 50s and 60s and then lower.
I’m probably missing something. Been building amd boxes since the early 2000s, not as much experience on Intel. I know the newer CPUs essentially try to overclock themselves. Anyway to turn that back 1 notch?
In case it matters, Arctic mx4 was the paste used. Regarding mounting I did use the backplate and bag labeled LGA 1700. I tried also to tighten screws up evenly a little at a time. Used the spread method when applying paste which is what I’ve done for years.
